This is a thread for any kind of fan projects that relate directly to RTK games. These include language patches for PC versions, game guides and walkthroughs (even if it isn't a complete game walkthrough--something like "Sure-fire way for defeating the barbarians in RTK9", "List of events in RTK 10" counts).

Note: This is a resource thread for people posting stuff to share. Please use the game-specific threads for discussion and for requesting FAQs, guides, walkthroughs, etc. We want to keep this thread devoted to the resources themselves, so requests and questions ("Can someone post a list of items in RTK8?") will be moved to the relevant game discussion thread. Irrelevant posts will be deleted.

Feel free to browse through the game-specific threads and copy relevant writeups/links here (always acknowledge the original author, though!).

2) Mass together your force. (I prefer to send about a fourth maybe half, of what the enemy has [250,000 max])

3) Get into position (Do not make bases! This is very important. Merely send out your army to the closest cities to your target. Only use as few cites as possible.

4) Send out at least twenty units: if you field 250, then an example of what I would do is this: send out 20 units of 10,000. Following this, make sure your twenty commanders have the ram formation. It doesn't matter how good the generals are. You can send them alone, or with others. I send as many as necessary to assure myself that there is one with confusion in each unit. Make them bypass enemy units with no retreat orders. The last 50,000 give to your ruler or high general and let him attack whoever he meets.

5) Start the bloodbath. When the enemy sees you, they will try to engage. Their five units will be soon overwhelmed. If you have passive personality generals, they'll do their best to get by the enemy in favor of attacking your targeted city. It will take a few turns, but the city is sure to fall. The defenders arrows are deadly, but if you can confuse the city, they can no longer shoot. With TWENTY units, you have TWENTY chances to confuse every day. The slaughter will be complete. If the city is confused, remember they also cannot field troops again to distract you.

6) Be ready to see the casualties. With only 10,000 per unit, you are bound to lose many units, but take heart in the fact that the enemy can only field 60,000 troops at a time, and they cannot capture your generals. Therefore, when the battle is over, you will claim the city, and all of the barbarian soldiers inside, easily replacing any you may have lost so you can send them elsewhere.

I have never lost with these tactics. I hope sincerly they will be of the same use to you.
